Brigitte Gabriel lectures nationally and internationally on global terrorism, and is considered to be among the top 50 most prominent speakers in America. As founder and president of ACT! for America, the Arab Christian says she is dedicated to educating her fellow Americans about the threat of radical Islam to world peace and national security.
"We know that terrorists are infiltrating the country," she says. "In the last seven months -- since President Obama became president -- we have arrested 46 homegrown terrorists on American soil plotting to kill Americans. All of these terrorist are Muslim."

What is the most likely reason that the American populace seems
relatively uniformed about the threat posed by radical Islam?
Gabriel is currently on a whirlwind tour of U.S. cities, hoping to awaken America to such dangers. Toward that end, she wants to grow her grassroots organization to one-million members and become the National Rifle Association of national security. "The NRA has four-million members. When the NRA roars, Capitol Hill shakes," she says. "No elected official who wants to be re-elected will dare tackle the gun legislation issue. Even Dick Durbin said no one wants to mess with the NRA."
Investigate CAIR
ACT! for America is calling on Americans to sign a petition demanding that Congress investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), in light of recent revelations about that group's ties to terrorism.
Recently Paul Sperry and Paul David Gaubatz released their book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America. Gaubatz and his son Chris were able to infiltrate CAIR's national headquarters, obtaining more than 12,000 pages of secret documents detailing the group's ties to the "Muslim Brotherhood" and its long-term plan to "Islamize" America.

Gabriel is appalled at some of the revelations in Muslim Mafia. "Information has been revealed that CAIR has planted spies inside law-enforcement agencies," she notes. "A CAIR official working out of DC headquarters turned out to be a ringleader of a terrorist cell that chauffeured the 9/11 imam to secret meetings during which they plotted to kill Americans."
So Gabriel says her group is launching a petition effort. "[We are asking Congress] to begin immediate investigation of CAIR and put an end to an enemy organization operating within our midst calling [for] support for [Osama] bin Laden, calling to mobilize the inner city against America, and basically acting as a front for terrorist organizations inside America."
Gabriel is author of the bestseller They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It.
